Jungle Brothers Still Keep It Real Insists Mike G

Hip hop critics and fans largely ignored the more experimental efforts of the Jungle Brothers on later albums, suggesting the group wasn’t “keeping it real.” Mike G believes such sentiments are ridiculous. “We come from a style of music that was created from other styles of music, so it’s only right that you — I won’t say anything goes — but you can do what you want,” he tells Dan Strachota
of SF Weekly. “There’s nothing wrong with testing the waters here and there, as long as you keep your identity, and it’s not just about getting a check. If you want to get a check, you should get a regular job. If you just want to make funky music and have a good time, you spread yourself out — keep your eyes open and keep your heart open.”
